Solution:

• 6. Everything was closed. It was like a ghost town. (A ghost town refers to a town that was once inhabited but is now abandoned, often due to economic reasons or natural disasters. This fits the context of being closed.)
• 7. My parents buy the daily newspapers every Sunday. ('Daily' implies something that happens every day, which is typical for newspaper purchases, even if specific delivery might be weekly.)
• 8. There were many ruined buildings in that ghost town. ('Ruined' describes buildings that are in a state of decay, which is characteristic of a ghost town.)
• 9. I was really puzzled. I didn't understand it. ('Puzzled' means confused, which aligns with not understanding something.)
• 10. His parents were very worried because he didn't come home. ('Worried' expresses concern when someone is late or missing.)
• 11. We heard a strange noise. ('Heard' is the sense used to perceive sounds.)
• 12. Tom saw a ghost in the hall. ('Saw' is the verb for visual perception.)
• 13. He fell asleep because he was very tired. ('Tired' is the state of needing rest, leading to sleep.)
• 14. They are bored because they have nothing to do. ('Bored' describes the feeling of weariness and dissatisfaction from lack of activity.)
• 15. The street is crowded. Look at all these people. ('Crowded' means full of people, which is evident from the instruction to 'look at all these people'.)
